Exclusive discount drops Bugatti 10 Max Electric Scooter to $1,249

We’ve got another exclusive discount for 9to5Toys readers coming to us from Wellbots, this time on a powerful commuter solution in the form of Bugatti’s 10 Max Electric Scooter for $1,249 shipped, after using the promo code 9TO5BUGATTI350 at checkout for $350 off. Normally priced at $1,599 here, with a higher $1,600 MSRP direct from Bugatti, we’ve only seen one previous discount on this particular model that came from Costco for a short period and dropped costs down to the $1,000 low. Today’s deal comes in as a 22% markdown that lands it at the second-lowest price we can find, giving you a chance to shave $350 off this higher-end e-scooter.

Coming in four colorways, Bugatti’s upgraded 10 Max e-scooter arrives “inheriting the DNA of the world’s fastest production car” and sporting a sleek, aerodynamic design with a lightweight, magnesium alloy frame. It cruises into view with a 500W motor that peaks at 1,000W to provide faster acceleration times, tackle inclines up to 18%, and challenge any rougher terrain – with extra support from the hidden suspension and 10-inch self-healing tires. The scooter’s 36V 15.6Ah battery ensures a travel range of up to 37 miles on a single charge, with three riding modes (eco, city, sport) to set different speed limits and prolong/shorten travel distance depending on your chosen setting.

The 10 Max e-scooter has also been given lighting all around its frame for added safety while riding at darker hours, with front headlights, dual turn signal lights, base lights around its sides, and a rear brake light – plus, in true Bugatti fashion, the back-end also projects an “EB” monogram logo onto the ground behind you. There’s also a beautifully integrated touchscreen display to adjust settings, activate its cruise control functions, and lock/unlock the scooter via a passcode for added security.

Save $2,000 on GoTrax’s Everest Electric Dirt Bike at new $4,000 low

Collected together in its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering a huge one-day deal on the GoTrax Everest Electric Dirt Bike that is down at $3,999.99 shipped for the rest of the day. Regularly fetching $6,000 at the moment after falling from its $6,500 MSRP a few months ago, this model has seen very few discounts since first releasing a year ago, first to $6,000 during its first month on the market and again during Christmas sales. We’ve also seen two previous one-day sales from earlier in 2024 that only ever brought costs down to $5,500 at most. Well today, folks are getting the best deal we’ve seen yet at a massive $2,000 markdown that lands it at a new all-time low price.

The Everest electric dirt bike jets out of the gates with a massive 4,000W rear-drive motor that peaks at 8,000W of terrain-conquering power and tops out at speeds of 53 MPH. The 72V removable battery gives this model 50 miles of traveling range, which can be fully recharged in about four hours. It’s been given plenty of additional features for an even more enhanced motocross experience, like multiple riding modes, hydraulic disc brakes, dual-shock suspension, and deep-tooth off-road tires. There’s also the dual headlights, a taillight that provides braking and turn signal functionality, mudguards, and an LED digital display. It’s also surprisingly lightweight for a dirt bike – even an electric model – with everything totaling up to 172 pounds.

Jackery’s Explorer 100 Plus 99Wh/31,000mAh Portable Power Station hits new $89 low

Coming to us through its official Amazon storefront, Jackery is offering its Explorer 100 Plus Power Station for $89 shipped, after clipping the on-page $40 off coupon. Normally priced at $149, we’ve seen two different rates dropping across 2024, with most of them dropping to $100 and one short-term instance of it falling further to $90 during July’s Prime Day event. Today though, Prime Day is taking a back seat as costs get taken $1 lower with this combined $60 markdown that etches out a new all-time low price.

Jackery’s Explorer 100 Plus is a great alternative for folks in need of far more juice for their personal devices than most of the pocketable power banks can provide, delivering a 99Wh LiFePo4 capacity (31,000mAh) and a 128W power output. Its more compact size can easily be stashed away inside your bag to carry with you throughout your everyday life on top of covering you for fun trips camping and the like. There’s dual USB-C ports and a single USB-A port here for your device’s charging needs, with the unit itself only taking an hour to fill 70% of its battery when connected to a standard wall outlet (under two hours for 100%). If you plug in a 100W solar panel, you can expect a full battery via solar charging in about two hours – or, you can plug it into your car’s auxiliary port for a full charge in up to three hours.

There’s a couple bonus offers here to consider too, with the first being a bundle that gives you the power station and a 40W solar panel for $200, after clipping the on-page coupon. You can also receive a free Explorer 100 Plus when purchasing one of these larger sized units/bundles.

Greenworks Pro 3,000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer

We’ve just spotted amazing one-day back-to-back deals for folks in need of a powerful solution to clean up their driveways, walkways, and more. Available as part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the popular Greenworks Pro 3,000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer for $289.99 shipped. Normally priced at $450, this standalone model has seen far more discounts over at Amazon than it has at Best Buy, where its fully-detailed combo kit is more frequently featured. It’s mainly been keeping around $360 throughout 2024, with some discounts taking things further to the former $300 low in July and $310 just two weeks ago. Today though, we’re seeing those prices beaten out in strides by this $160 markdown that drops things lower than ever to a new all-time low – matched in price over at Amazon too. Head below to learn more about this model, as well as the bundle option to increase its cleaning power with extra savings.

This pressure washer’s systems come housed within a heavy-duty frame, sporting a 14A TruBrushless motor to max out at an impressive 3,000 PSI with a 1.1 to 2.0 GPM flow rate too. If the higher pressure rating wasn’t enough, there’s also an onboard one-gallon detergent tank and a bunch of included accessories too – with five versatile nozzles that can be stored inside the provided space alongside the 25 feet of non-marring hose. To help save you money while ensuring a longer lifespan for its motor, it’s been given Greenworks’ Total Stop System that shuts off the pump the moment the trigger is disengaged.

The second of these Deals of the Day is the Greenworks 15-inch Pressure Washer Surface Cleaner Attachment that starts at $55, down from $80 – plus, if you bundle it here today with the above pressure washer, you’ll save even more as the price drops down to $41. It has an easy quick-connect feature for a faster and more effortless setup, with dual cleaning nozzles on its underside to level up the pressure washer’s cleaning power and coverage area. You can also buy this attachment separately for any Greenworks pressure washer that is rated for up to 3,100 PSI.

Razor RSF650 Electric Bike

Ride with joy on Razor’s RSF650 Electric Bike at return $689 2024 low

Amazon is now offering an electrified fun time in the form of Razor’s RSF650 Electric Bike for $689 shipped. Normally fetching $900, with an even higher $950 price tag coming directly from Razor, this model has seen a rare handful of discounts over the year so far, first hitting $689 in 2024 back at the start of the year and slowly climbing higher in price since. From March through July, we’ve only seen it riding along at $831, with August bringing steady increases up to $900. Today, we’re getting a much-needed break from these higher rates with a 23% markdown that cuts $211 off the tag and returns costs back to the lowest price we have tracked in 2024.

This RSF650 model is more tailored for fun rather than getting you out and about town for your appointments, though if you’re only going a short distance, it can still get the job done in that regard. The miniaturized supersport motorcycle-inspired frame houses a 650W chain-driven motor and a 36V battery that work together to offer up to an hour of runtime before it needs a recharge. You or your kids will be able to cruise around at an impressive 17 MPH, with added features for your comfort (It is a micro model afterall). There’s 14-inch street tires, a rear suspension, a variable speed twist-grip throttle, and rear disc brakes to ensure a fun joyride for all who jump aboard, and even includes a surprise hidden storage compartment too.

Next Generation Kenworth electric semi truck now available with Bendix ADAS

Bendix ADAS now available on Kenworth T680

Kenworth has announced the addition of Bendix’ Fusion advanced driver assist system (ADAS) to its line of options on the T680 line of Class 8 commercial semi trucks – a lineup that includes the Next Generation T680E battery electric semi truck.

One of the many new trucks revealed at the 2025 ACT Expo in Anaheim, California earlier this year, the Next Generation Kenworth T680E featured the latest advancements in battery-electric technology, an enhanced exterior design, and a suite of new, in-cab technology that extends to the addition of three Bendix Fusion version: ADAS, ADAS PRO, and ADAS PREMIER.

All three of the announced ADAS packages offer updated Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with ACC Stop and Auto Go™, a new Pedestrian Autonomous Emergency Braking (PAEB) feature, and a new High Beam Assist feature to reduce the likelihood of blinding oncoming drivers supported by the addition of a new forward-looking camera.

Those updates are in addition to the ADAS units Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Multi-Lane Autonomous Emergency Braking, Highway Departure Braking (HDB), and Stationary Vehicle Braking (SVB), Lane Departure Warning, and Bendix® Blindspotter® Side Object Detection already available on previous versions of the ADAS-equipped Kenworth.

Now that we’ve got that acronym-loaded word-salad out of the way, we can get to the point: the newest generation of electric trucks is easier and safer to drive – and not just safer for the truck’s operators, but for the people who share the roads with them, too.

The Next-Generation T680E is available with up to 605 peak hp and 1,850 lb-ft of torque from a PACCAR Integrated ePowertrain fed from a 500 kWh li-ion battery pack good for more than 200 miles of loaded range. The updated Class 8 BEV is rated up to 82,000 lb. gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWR), and can get that load back up to speed quickly with a 350 kW peak charge rate that means the T680E can charge up to 90% in just two hours.

That system isn’t just more efficient than the first generation truck, it’s also more serviceable than it was before.

“This move to a fully integrated and ground-up PACCAR design means we were able to design for enhanced serviceability,” explains Joe Adams, Kenworth’s chief engineer. “Providing easier access to the Master Service Disconnects for improved safety and increased uptime and allowing the use of the DAVIE service tool for troubleshooting and diagnostics.”

The Next Generation Kenworth T680E electric semi truck is designed for short and regional-haul, LTL, and drayage operations. It’s available as a day cab as either a tractor or straight truck in a 6×4 axle configuration.

Dealers are slashing prices on 2025 Kia Niro EV, nearly 25% off!

Dealers are slashing prices on 2025 Kia Niro EV, nearly 25% off!

Kia Niro EV deals; electric kia discount

Just like it says on the tin – retailers are advertising killer deals on the fun-to-drive Kia Niro EV, with one midwest auto dealer reporting more than $10,000 off the sticker price of the Niro EV Wind. That’s nearly 25% off the top line price!

SKIP THE STORY: get straight to the deals.

The Kia Niro EV gets overshadowed by its objectively excellent EV6 and EV9 stablemates – both of which are currently available with substantial lease cash and 0% APR financing, in fact – but that doesn’t mean it’s not an excellent little electric runabout in its own right.

The last time I had a Niro EV tester, my kids loved it, I liked that it was quicker and more tossable than I expected it to be, and my wife liked the fact that “it doesn’t look electric. It looks normal.” And, with well over 200 miles of real world range (EPA-rated range is 253 miles), it was more than up to the task of commuting around Chicago and making the trip up to the Great Wolf Lodge in Gurnee and back without even needing to look for a charger.

It’s not the primary family hauler I’d choose – but as a second car? As a primary car for a slightly smaller family (1-2 kids, instead of 3-4)? The Kia Niro EV Wind, with a $42,470 MSRP, seems like a solid, “can’t go wrong” sort of choice. You know?

You won’t even have to pay that much, though. Raymond Kia in Antioch, Illinois is advertising a $42,470 Niro EV for $32,431 (that’s $10,039, or about 24% off the MSRP), and several others are advertising prices in the $33,000 range.

And, while we’re at it:

Lion Electric leaves US school districts stuck with unsafe, broken buses

Lion Electric leaves US school districts stuck with unsafe, broken buses

Canada's Mach in talks to help rescue electric bus maker Lion

Many school districts who used EPA funding to help purchase Lion Electric school buses are now stuck with broken down or unsafe vehicles – but Lion’s new Canadian investors seemingly have no plans to make things right.

“All four Lion buses that we own are currently parked and not being used,” Coleen Souza, interim transportation director of Winthrop Public Schools, told Jay Traugott over at Clean Trucking. “Two of them are in need of repairs which would cost us money which we are not willing to invest in because the buses do not run for more than a month before needing more repairs.”

The story is much the same at other US school districts who deployed Lion Electric buses over the last few years – and the trouble they describe isn’t isolated to a single component or system. One district we spoke to had onboard chargers that failed almost immediately after being plugged into a L2 AC charger. Another that spoke to Traugott reported emergency door gaps, power steering failure, loss of power, and braking issues.

As bad as the revelations of safety and drivability issues and $250 million in unresolved debt have been, it’s the objectively stupid design choices that have been the most shocking.

“Lion built an auxiliary diesel heater to heat the bus, essentially writing the manual as they went,” explained a school superintendent in the midwest, who asked not to be named. “It was fascinating to watch but there were design flaws with the heater. For example, the intakes pointed downward and we’re driving across rural roads and the intake sucks in that dirt.”

“Using a diesel-powered heater to warm an electric bus also somewhat defeats the purpose of going 100% zero-emissions,” added Traugott.

Despite a new electric school bus rebate and a fresh cash injection from Vincent Chiara, president of Quebec real estate powerhouse Groupe MACH, and Lion director Pierre Wilkie, however, it seems like no help is coming.

It just gets worse and worse

Despite early speculation – some of it my own, in fact – that the new investors would take the Canadian government up on its offer to help subsidize more electric school bus production and honor the company’s outstanding warranty claims, it appears the only vehicle line the new investors are interested in reviving are the the Class 8 electric semi manufacturing operations in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec.

The US school districts who spent tens of millions of taxpayer dollars in the hopes that Lion buses would help decarbonize their fleets and reduce students’ exposure to harmful diesel emissions? Many of them are back to using diesel, while others are trying to get their deposits back so they can buy something else.

Here’s hoping any school districts on the fence for electrification recognize that their are very real, very well-engineered, and very financially sound electric school bus manufacturers out there who can deliver on their promises.
